Axwell / Ingrosso ask US Presidential Candidate to Stop Playing their Track

Republican Presidential Candidate and Florida Senator Marco Rubio, apparently a recent electronic music fan, recently walked off the stage during his campaign kickoff rally to Axwell / Ingrosso’s track “Something New”. His sentiments were however not appreciated by the duo as they released a statement stating that Rubio did not ask for the permission to use their song and would like him to stop.

As much as the Presidential Candidate was hoping to perceive value in associating his name with a promising youth culture movement such as EDM, his feelings may not have been reciprocated. Moreover, he did this without permission, a kind of action we don’t expect from a Politician. We commend Axwell and Ingrosso in taking a stand and not aligning themselves with a political party.
